Rotwild, a renowned name in the world of mountain bikes, is set to make a splash in the e-bike market with the introduction of two innovative electric bicycles. The Rotwild R.X1000 e-MTB and Rotwild R.C1000 e-crossover promise an exciting blend of technology and design, with a key highlight being the groundbreaking Pinion MGU E1.12 motor/gearbox unit.
The Rotwild R.X1000 is an all-terrain electric mountain bike that boasts full suspension, catering to the needs of adventure seekers who seek thrills off the beaten path. On the other hand, the Rotwild R.C1000 offers similar features but is positioned as an e-crossover, making it suitable not only for off-road adventures but also for daily commuting and sports activities. The cross-country frame structure of the R.C1000 provides the added benefit of carrying luggage, enhancing its practicality.
The standout feature of these new e-bikes from Rotwild is undeniably their motor. Rotwild has opted for the cutting-edge Pinion MGU E1.12, a pioneering combination of a traditional mid-motor situated on the bottom bracket and an integrated gearbox. This innovative choice not only delivers robust propulsion, with a torque of up to 85 Nm, but also ensures seamless gear shifting across its twelve gears. Rotwild complements this motor with a capacious 960 Wh battery cleverly integrated into the down tube, promising an extended range.
While comprehensive details on the additional features of the Rotwild R.X1000 and R.C1000 e-bikes are yet to be unveiled, the recommended retail prices have been disclosed. As per the information available on the manufacturer’s website, the Rotwild R.X1000 is priced at €11,999 (~US$12,800), while the R.C1000 comes in at a slightly lower recommended retail price of €9,999 (~US$10,700).
These e-bikes from Rotwild are poised to capture the attention of biking enthusiasts with their cutting-edge motor technology and impressive battery capacity, offering an exciting entry into the world of electric bicycles.
